Avian flu and the rising cost of feed have created problems for the egg industry. At a farm in Aichi Prefecture, a father and son clash over methods. The father wants to continue raising chickens in cages, but the son wants to raise birds cage free, which is a costlier approach. Through this film, the son hopes to spark a dialogue between them. What feelings have they not been able to express to each other? This is a story of a family divided over eggs. Can they reach a resolution?
